Tutorials
The main features of PolyKin are explained and illustrated through a series of tutorials based on Jupyter notebooks, which can be launched online via Binder.
Installation
PolyKin currently runs on Python>=3.10. You can install it from PyPI via pip (or uv):
pip install polykin
# uv add polykin
Alternatively, you may install it directly from the source code repository:
pip install git+https://github.com/HugoMVale/polykin.git
# uv add git+https://github.com/HugoMVale/polykin.git
